Our Policy
The plagiarism policy ensures that authors give due credit to other authors when they use their work, and it protects the academic integrity of the research community.
Every paper submitted to an ISSRD conference must be original: it must not be published in any form before or after the conference. Quote and cite every source you use, including your own earlier papers.
What Happens When Plagiarism Is Found
-
Before Review
All research papers submitted for publication are checked with plagiarism detection software to verify their originality and find their similarity percentage. Papers that fail to meet the criteria are sent back to the author for modification.
-
Just Before Publication
If plagiarism is detected just before publication, the author is given a chance to resubmit the paper after the modifications suggested by the editor. If the editor decides that plagiarism is a major issue, the paper is not considered further for publication.
-
After Publication
If plagiarism or a fake identity is suspected or detected after publication, the paper is removed from the website until the verification is complete. If only a few paragraphs are plagiarized, the author can modify the paper, and it is restored after the editor’s approval.
-
Serious Violation
If plagiarism or a fake identity is a major issue and seriously violates the copyright of others, the paper remains removed, and the author is penalized and blacklisted for life from ISSRD and other conference organizers. The removal is mentioned on the journal website and the indexing services are notified.
-
Self-Plagiarism
Authors republishing their earlier published work are dealt with by the same procedure.
